When did that go up from £30?

Not that it matters, because anyone who willingly fits self-abuser lights deserves everything they get anyway.

I obviously missed the bit where I insulted you when I answered your question, any chance you can point it out for me?

As Most new cars now have daytime running lights (some of which are Blue tint LED's) the police probably wouldnt even bother stopping you. If worried stick some standard ones back in. ;)

because one of the side lights on SWMBO's car is such a bugger to get at, I replaced them with led type. Unfortunately they are a lot bluer than I wanted, but they stayed in due to the hassle of fitting them. I specifically as my MOT tester about them, he said he wasn't bothered about side lights, just headlights.  ;)

I have always believed that the £60 jobbies are endorsable, and I know that a breach of C&U regs where lighting is concerned never used to carry points....I guess that's changed now so they can screw us for a little bit more  :(
